The Golden Knights are entering this game with 15 points, a 6-2-3 record overall, and they are 3-1-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Colorado Avalanche in their last game, losing that one at home 4-2. Mitchell Marner and Tomáš Hertl each scored 1 goal for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Golden Knights have looked really good in their games this season with their 6-2-3 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the West. They have looked better on home ice too with their 3-1-1 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Red Wings have looked really good in their games this season with their 9-4-0 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the East. They haven't looked as good in their road games though, going 4-3-0 on the road this season. They have been really hot to start the year, but lately they have been cooling off. They are off a 3-2 win over the Sharks in their last one, but they needed a shootout to beat one of the worst teams in the NHL and they are starting to play in some much tighter games lately too. The Golden Knights are off a 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in their last one, but the Avalanche are also one of the best teams in the NHL. The Golden Knights have the talent to be one of the best teams in the NHL too so they will be looking to bounce back on home ice here. They are also more rested with that loss to the Avalanche being on Friday night so look for the Golden Knights to bring their best effort at home to bounce back against a tired Red Wings team near the end of their road trip. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game and on the puckline.

"I thought we had a mixed bag to start. We weren't playing the type of game that we wanted to play. We're getting a little bit cute with stickhandling a lot in the offensive zone. Second period, started to throw stuff towards the net, and it opened up for us a little bit." - Todd McLellan after his team’s win against the Sharks in their game on Sunday.

“The play they made [at the start]. We went over it nine minutes before the game started. The coach has to prepare his team to play, right? But as players, you have to start on time. We're getting to the point here, it's almost November, and this is a recurring thing.” - Bruce Cassidy after his team’s loss against the Avalanche in their game on Friday.
